Back on Track

Feeling much better this morning after 10 hours of sleep.

Thursday Diet:
7:00a: shake--coconut milk, casein protein, cashew butter
9:45a: paleo chili
12:30p: Whole Foods hot bar--two slices of pork loin, chicken breast, zucchini and broccoli. I think the box weighed in at 1.2 lbs today. I have come to the realization that is it nearly impossible to spend less than $10 at WF, but it is delicious.
3:00p: Think Thin protein bar
6:30p: ready to drink protein shake
8:30p: paleo chili over sweet potato chips

Thursday Workout:

7:(15)p @ CFC:

Was finishing up some stuff at work and missed the Metra train so made it in a little late to class last night. Commuting to and from the box during the week gets a little frustrating since I don't have a car, but I enjoy it so much that I usually don't mind. Also have a number of good friends who offer me a ride home, which is pretty awesome.

Workout:

Clean & Jerk ladder @ #135

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

In between each round of C&Js do a round of Cindy (5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 squats) for 10 rounds of Cindy total.

Time: 19:58

Really shooting to get sub-20, and happy I got it. PR of about 6 min from the last time I did this in February. These longer metcons with a strength element are great mental challenges, as it gets tough to keep the intensity as the 15 minute mark passes and I start to get fatigued. My Cindy rounds were not as fast as usual, but after getting called out by Rudy on my squats at the start I went slow and made sure to get full depth. I think the issue for me there is still the tight hip flexor, which is probably why I start my air squats by not going down all the way.

Coming off of a sick/rest day, this felt good. The rounds of 8-9-10 were a battle, and though I wasn't cycling the C&J as fast as I would have liked, I pushed through them to hit my target time.
